About the CCL
We design software that enables our collaborators to easily harness large scale distributed systems such as clusters, clouds, and grids. We perform fundamental computer science research that enables new discoveries through computing in fields such as physics, chemistry, bioinformatics, biometrics, and data mining.CCL News and Blog

Community Highlight
The Applied Cyber Infrastructure Concepts course at the University of Arizona makes use of the Cooperative Computing Tools
to teach
principles of large scale distributed computing. The project-based
course introduced fundamental concepts and tools for analyzing large
datasets on national computing resources and commercial cloud providers.
For the final project, students developed an appliance for annotating
multiple rice genomes using MAKER software, distributed across Amazon and FutureGrid resources via the Work Queue
framework. They also developed a web application to visualize the
performance and utilization of each cloud appliance in real-time,
overall progress of the rice annotation process, and integrated the
final results into a genome browser.
